That's exactly the reason I don't and wont ride or even get close to a horse.
Except when I went over to the ranch to see the horse that the movie "Spirit" was made from. He's so pretty, but his caretaker, Neda
DeMayo who owns the Return to Freedom ranch, was holding the rein.When my first two boys were 6 and 4 I got them a pony but the newness of the pony wore off quickly so no one was riding him. After a couple months he didn't want to be rode so he started bucking them off. I gave the pony to a little boy who couldn't afford one but loved ours. He rode that pony every day and took such good care of him.
